Announcements and Calendar for the Week of Mar. 25

CHURCH NOTES

THE FLOWERS THIS MORNING are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Jean H. Brush, by her son David.

THANK YOU to Susan McKechnie for preaching today while Mike is on vacation.

PICTURE FOR ANI: Please, everyone, go out on the front steps at close of service. We want to take a group picture for Ani Colt to have as a surprise remembrance of her years with us. The Sunday School classes and teachers will also join us. Thanks.

COVENANT TO CARE: Our CTC social worker liaison, Monica Smith has sent out a request for Easter. She has asked us to donate $20 gift cards from Walmart, Big Y and/or Stop & Shop so that families will be able to provide food and Easter supplies for their DCF children. We will need to have these gift cards in by Sunday, April 1 in order to get them to Monica in time for Easter. You can purchase the gift cards yourself, or write a check made out to FCCW with Covenant To Care written in the memo section. Please turn the gift cards and checks over to one of the people listed below. We also accept cash so if you want to donate in this manner, the following people will gratefully accept it: Lynn & Tom Singleton, Diane Peterson, Diane Gioco, and Brittany LaFleur. Thank you for your help.

THE FINAL program of this year’s Lenten series will be on Wednesday March 28th at East Woodstock. The topic of discussion will be “What does heaven look like?” as well as Hollywood on death and film clips of heaven. What do YOU think heaven is like? Join us at 6:00 for a light supper and interesting conversation.

COMPASSION CAMP REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! Camp week will be July 23-27 and forms are posted online and on the kiosk in Harrison Hall. CIT/Counselor applications are also available.

Youth will be making these treats to raise funds for summer programs——Silver Lake, Compassion Camp, and NYE. We need many hands for this project!

SAVE THE DATE for our next Giv2 Event on Sunday, April 15. Giv2 NE will visit TEEG in Thompson to help prepare the new facility for the spring ribbon-cutting ceremony. Wear your work clothes and come help with painting or landscaping projects from 12 to 4 PM. Youth in grades 7 and up are invited to attend and friends are always welcome. Lunch will be provided.
